For about $140 street price, the Beltronics Vector 940 performs very well. Its what I'm going to be picking up soon.

V1 is by far the best way to go if you can afford it. (and you live somewhere that radar detectors are legal)

Dam, the Valentine One kicked *** in every single test!

I am in the market for a laser jammer now.... Trying to find out how to purchase the "laser interceptor" if they'll ever sell it?? Might have to settle for the Blinder M20 for now...

Oh yeah, and don't forget...

V1 works awesome, but when you get a laser hit, it's too late... ask me how I know, hahah... dammit.

You can get them here in the states, call Elvis @ 602-370-6885 and let him know you are interested in one. There about 500 for a dual head (front only) and 900 for a quad (front and rear).

What makes that so much better than the escort ZR3 Lazer Jammer? The escort is only $350 retail.
